My brother is violent in the home and defiant of everyone. ?

Question

He can't control his anger and throws violent fits, screaming at people, and usually ends up beating on them. I've tried to tell my parents it's not healthy and I don't feel safe in my home and they regard the violence as 'natural' and 'a sibling thing'. How do I get the point across and deal with my brother?

Answer 1

tell a school counselor. talk to a friend. maybe you should try talking to your brother when he's clearheaded. i feel you on the parents thing though. they only see what they want to see.

Answer 2

he needs eval w psychiatrist who will prescribe meds

Answer 3

Your brother sounds like he needs anger mangement classes. If he is like me he acts out for attention. If he is causing harm which I rarely do there si a serious problem. Try to stay away from him  but dotn ignore him.
